Its funny to us, too, whenMuslims when nonMuslims tell us hadith or some fanatical scholar's words represent all Muslims world wide. Some PPs didn't post accurate things about Islam either.

Can you please explain why, if the Old Testament is part of the Bible, Christians reject it? Or do they only reject those parts in conflict with the New Testament? If so, was covering the head expressly rejected in the New Testsment?[/quote]

I hear you. By my count, this was explained twice already on the other thread, maybe more. Happy to explain again, though.

Jesus said that there were two main commandments from the OT, re loving God and your neighbor. Jesus explicitly threw out a LOT of OT stuff. Jesus threw out "eye for eye", no divorce, and all the dietary rules, for example. See Matthew 5 and 15 for these. So Christians don't usually feel themselves firmly bound by the OT, except for the literalists (who are decreasing in number).

I don't think the OT makes a good analogy to shariah. Muslims in many areas still practice shariah, Muslim judges still make rulings within shariah. But as I've said, Christians usually don't feel bound by the OT-- because Jesus to them not to feel bound by many of OT rules.[/quote]
